David
That sound like A LOT of work for what seems to be a simple process??
Does a copy and paste work Jonathan ?

You could script something to parse the bppllist output to rebuild new
policies using the CLI. Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to
finalize this myself, but here are a few commands to look at. It will
depend on your willingness to spend the time doing it, and whether the work
to write the script is more than the work to just create the new policies.

As an aside, I recently had the opportunity to copy some class folders from 5.1 to a new 6.0 machine. Appears to have worked just fine so far. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOShttp://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
